In Residence: Michele Oka Doner
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 апр 2019
- Like a fossil embedded in stone, the art of internationally renowned sculptor and designer Michele Oka Doner is imprinted into the fabric of her SoHo loft home.
Instead of walls, Oka Doner’s elegant studio apartment is shaped by the flotsam and jetsam of conch shells and minerals, separating the kitchen from the lounge, and dried bark and petrified tree roots that divide the piano from the dinning table.
For the latest In Residence the Miami Beach native opens her home, where we see gold, bronze, clay, wood, wax and paper-the earth’s raw materials-which form the foundation of her art.
Oka Doner’s work ebbs and flows between the handmade and the organic, inspired by world histories and folklore. “The sheer breadth of her interests and influences made for one of the most fascinating conversations of my career,” says episode director Max Hemmings. “She makes such remarkable connections-everything from Herbert Read to Ötzi the Iceman-as if drawing on a whole library at will.”
Naturally occurring shapes and patterns are a key theme in Oka Doner’s work, perhaps her most famous being A Walk On The Beach, a one-mile stretch of tropical seeds and 9,000 unique aquatic bronzes embedded into a terrazzo floor in Miami International Airport. The designer’s many projects also decorate her sizeable apartment. On the far wall is an enormous ink drawing of mother-of-pearl under a microscope. Hanging near the entrance is Soul Catchers, a 450-piece collection of glazed porcelain skulls that have the appearance of being eroded away by ocean currents. Just like her home, Oka Doner’s enduring 40-year career is an homage to the outside world and a celebration of the planet’s natural resources.

I admired her, even more, when she said that her first language was the beach, the amulets.. the things we first observed when we were a child. Beautiful Michele!
To see a beautiful woman, whose aged and yet retained her child-like wonder for the world... that magic she speaks of, in hope people do find it in them sometimes.
NOWNESS is pure brilliance. The cinematography and music are always on point!
This woman and her space are lovely. She looks content and her space feels well lived and loved.
A childlike sense of newness and wonder is a valuable quality to carry through life.
one of the most inspiring home interviews
i’ve seen.
supreme.
I've never heard of this artist until now and suddenly I have a new love. Everything about this Lady (in the true sense of the word), is grace personified. In a time when the world is closing in around us, I would love to see life through her eyes. What ever happened to that bit of 'magic' I used to keep in my pocket....
aaaaah i love how she speaks, from the heart, from the soul. I admire her
So beautiful and tender to the senses.
It left me wondering what the house smelled of...
I have been obsessed with her and her work lately, so I am extremely happy that you did this video.
In resident is my favorite series, I’m going to hundred again it again
What a sweet lady in an incredibile house! And the music You choose... I like to think that the house itself chose its own soundtrack...
I love how she said English was not her first language but the natural sounds that children get to know and she carried that well into adulthood.
Debussy in the background is all love.... and apparently his studio served as the movie set for "Ghost" .... just wow
*THIS.THIS IS WHAT I CALL RICH. NOT SOME TEENS WASTING STUFF ON EXPENSIVE BRANDS THAT DOESN'T MAKES SENSE*
Dude stop shouting, I'm right next to you.
"I never feel confined when I'm here": Lives in 20,000sq. ft. Church like structure with floor to ceiling windows and 40 ft. ceilings.
@@tranzco1173 These people are delusional.
@@jodawgsup Yes, like the tiny house alternative off-grid channel were people live in a 1200 ft sq. house in Malibu California that costs 5 million dollars. They all believe they somehow "rejected" mainstream consumerism,
but love the conspicuous consumption of showing off their toys and stuff.
This channel is "I live in a modest humble 10,000 sq. foot castle in London, or a 800 year old marble cathedral in Rome, and I'm not materialistic, just a normal person with my own style." Some of them are beautiful but the pretentiousness and ostentatiousness makes me nauseous.
I still watch it though, I like looking at people homes, even if it's an episode of Hoarders. Although - technically - this is a variation on Hoarders.
@@tranzco1173 Very true, especially "They all believe they somehow "rejected" mainstream consumerism,
but love the conspicuous consumption of showing off their toys and stuff" this bit.
This video is so beautiful, it makes me want to cry.
Absolutely stunning! It's so organic, rich in bringing the earth and its elements inside,,the rooms feel alive with nuances of what once lived! Art is a form of expression, this house is expressing itself,,,,,,,,,🤲
Marvelous. Like I’m listening to my soul speak as another person or a master teacher singing a beautiful lesson. Truly lovely.
Fascinating woman and her 'space'.................... Thought provoking and 'true life' affirming................. there be 'magic here'.......... for those with eyes to see and hearts to feel................................
Thank you Enjoy!
I really like this In Residnece series. I hope you continue to produce this ♥️
Love Michele's words, magical stuff for an artist to hear ;)
This is so beautiful it’s making me cry
Always looking forward to these posts! Her home is splendid!
she is beautiful and full of grace
Her space is beautiful. I personally wouldn't care for the skull collection but, I know my daughter would adore it.
....NO SE PUEDE TENER MAS SENSIBILIDAD.....ES INSUPERABLE...MICHEL OKA...TRASMITE PAZ Y SABIDURIA...UN SALUDO INFINITO DESDE ESPAÑA
"I never feel confined here, in my 8,000 square foot apartment"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😀
I wish you showed her kitchen! The coolest part of her home that she designed!
You have preserved the magical child who always finds the beauty and wonder of found objects.
I love this series so goddamn much!!! Have been watching since 2014, keep em coming 😍
Thank you for inviting us in.😌
I could listen to her speak all day and night
beautiful! I missed this series.
I don't know her (yet to google her name) Thank you lady , what a beautiful and rich culture she's got! Thank you !!! xxxxxxxxxx
One of my idols...
My home is full of natural objects too and I absolutely love the comfort of my cave. ❤
Yes please! Such a gorgeous home and cool person!
wow, what a fantastic cave...
out of everything I saw, now i want my radiators to swirl around my columns!
stunning home... love it... this apartment, the roomy spaces remind me of the apartment of Demi moore in film Ghost..
it is the apartment from Ghost
SOHO magic !!!
She’s wonderful
Looks like the same loft GHOST (1989) was filmed in ♥️
Yeah it totally reminds me of that but apparently Ghost was filmed in a studio but this might as well be the flat used as an inspiration to design that space.
@@Starkardur see the remarks above!
It was filmed here!!! :)
I enjoy all these videos, but I wish the music was not so loud. It always makes it hard to hear the speaker.
She is a poet
claire de lune was very moving, and with the arts featured. just wow
Wow, I want more!
Such an interesting space.
Pure magic
She and her home are so interesting.
I love this so much.
Life is there to be experienced.
Both she and the flat are very interesting and very beautiful .
So wonderful.
I love your home and you.
2:11 best shot
Exquisite.
aww debussy sweet voice and tree bark artworks so beautiful ㅠㅠ 예뻐
Exquisite!
Heavenly 😭❤️
I usually hate the use of greek columns because its tacky on mcmansions and in poor taste but its appropriately done in her apartment. Looks lovely inside.
These are probably original cast iron columns in the loft. They were (still are ) supporting columns in the buildings (in Soho/Chelsea/lower Fifth Avenue neighborhoods in NYC) that were used for commercial/manufacturing purposes and needed high ceilings and large open floor spaces. They are not just ornamental - they have a very important purpose.
@@MTMF.london I thought the EXACT same thing. Thank u 4 clarifying the use of the columns in these beautiful architectural gems. Happy Spring. 😜
Pity the music overpowers her words.......what a beautiful person!
It's the apartment where Ghost (1990) was filmed.
Majestic
Beautiful 🥰
please make more videos
Amazing!!
It’s massive.
good job
Lovely ❤
Is that the succession "Shiv" Roy home?
💙💙
Looks like the apartment where the movie GHOST was filmed.
They built a replica of this loft to film Ghost
The editor here skipped some bars of Claire de Lune, argh. (at 1:10)
Is this the apartment in the movie Ghost?
"I never feel confined here..." [in my kazillion feet apartment]. God!
love the series absolutely stunning quality but sorry to say it there is only one thing I cannot stand and that is the enormous amount of pretentious drama
Her loft/apartment looks similar to the movie"ghost" specially the staircase.
omg georgous.................
Unic
Would not mind living in a “cave” like that
Must be nice
wow.. i-
Holy shit

🤗😉🤔🤝🌎❤️🌍❤️🌏
I like her place and what she says, but I dont like the bird skulls. To have anothers skull, even if its a bird... and many of them.. it freaks me out. I cant relate to that part.
The moral here is HAVE MONEY
Majority of the homes of those who have money are relatively tasteless and soulless.
The moral here is do what resonates with you.
Claire de Lune makes this video
You know🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
first language trees bones
is she a witch?
Dek - she is a sculptor by trade.
cavewoman?
art of a privileged!
